During the out-takes of True Love Travels On a Gravel Road on Vol 4, EP says "As the world turns", is this a reference to (God help me) Days of Our Lives?

Rumour has: the double Request Box Shows in 7 inch fold out
with 16 pages booklet... But things can always change at the
last minute...? You can't spit 'm out as quickly as in the old
days. As mentioned by me before, the makers tell me all the
time: sales are very slow these days... Recently, 2 more
dealers left the scene, and as things look, more are to follow
before the end of this year.

No dealers, no distribution, no more boots.
A sad reality. And it also means no more new tapes can be
bought from private collectors. Their prices are often outrages,
and no sensible boot label is investing a lot of money, when
one knows up forehand it's not gonna move enough copies.
SC told me, sales ( also due to downloading from certain sites)
has gone down in a big way. American 5 is doing 40% less
than the previous four...

And believe you me, its only goin' down, from here on.
Please, do not pm me on where to buy unreleased sbs, because
you have X thousand dollars to spend on your hobby.
Im only a messager here.

imagine the possibilities if we all could some how chip in and buy some of the rare sounboards that the private collecters have. say a group of 30 or even 50 people all threw in the cash :>)

Sorry, but I'm not selling them. No one gets to hear them except me. I can't be bought no matter how much money is offered, so don't even try.

BTW What kind of prices do collectors ask for when approached for their unreleased tapes??

Sat Sep 22, 2007 7:58 pm

the problem with buying tapes is how many times as it been copyed say you brought a tape for 2000 and thought you could make some back by getting it out to the fans on cd but somebody eles gets there first your investment as gone i wonder if this as ever happend . we must support the good labels madison / sc because maybe just maybe they might pull out of the market then we will get the real (deleted - see guideline #2) stuff long live the original and best labels mr baxter

... Chipping in as a group to obtain a sb ?
Look what happened to the On Tour and TTWII material...!
You cant trust too many people, sorry to say.
And 2000 wont get you anything "rare". Maybe yet
another pre fall 76 performance...? No thank you.

It would cost a round trip first class to Bali, 2 weeks stay at the
Bali Hilton Presidental suite, 2 escort ladies on 24 hour standby,
Champagne & Caviar for breakfast, and all the M&Ms you
can digest, for 2 weeks. Party! Party!

It's a direct reference to the then-top-rated daytime soap opera, As The World Turns. During the opening credits, an announcer would intone, "As the world turns," in much the same way Presley does on that tape.

It is STILL on TV today -- it debuted on CBS-TV about the same time Elvis Presley (LPM-1254) was issued by RCA, over 51 years ago.

Impossible price. The price of TRUST! And I am one kiddo that will die happy knowing that he never leaked anything or betrayed any trust .....BEFORE it was out the door ....so to speak.

Hey, EIN has a review of "American Way 5" on their site now. As always, a GREAT review by Piers -- I sure like his in-depth reviews. This CD does seem to end the American Way series with a big BANG like I predicted when I first saw the tracklist...

Hope spelling mistakes are corrected....only say this because it is an imo pro review! Great.....just marred in a fixable way. Buries with 2 Rs ...for example. I use the dots ..... a lot cause I suck at comma placing.

Don't worry about it. Nobody on this MB would pull you up about it. The important thing is the message - not how well you spell it.

Two points here:

1. I never corrected anyone's spelling if I knew their first language wasn't English (nor did I correct obvious typos).

2. I've been warned if I didn't stop my crusade I was for the high jump.

You have taught me without knowing and wish everyone would take the effort to check....cause imo shows or gives better credence to posts. Sorry for rambling and off topic.
